    Tommy Wiseau’s film The Room (2003) is by many accounts the worst movie ever made. The plot barely makes sense, the set design is comically inept, and most of the dialogue sounds like it was fed through Google Translate multiple times. Yet, for 14 years, people have been congregating at midnight screenings all across the globe to watch what some people call “the Citizen Kane of bad movies.”
    Despite the film’s incoherency, audiences ritualistically throw plastic spoons, shout call and response lines at the screen, and toss around footballs in the aisles at monthly screenings. Knowing all the inside jokes and participatory cues gives viewers what sociologist Pierre Bourdieu termed “cultural capital.” People who know when to shout specific lines or when to hurl spoons are deemed Room veterans.
    Contrary to what you may think, researchers have found that an appreciation of this kind of “trash cinema” can actually indicate higher levels of intelligence. Trash films share more characteristics with avant-garde art films than they do with typical commercial Hollywood fare. Audiences are drawn to both “trash” and “art” films for many of the same reasons, like their transgressive nature and their rejection of mainstream aesthetic norms.
    Watch the video to know more about The Room and be sure to pick up Bissell’s book (that he co-wrote with Greg Sestero) to read many more legendary stories about the production of the “best worst movie.”

      What makes very bad movies good, IMO, is that they are unique in some way. The bad choices they make are different from what you normally see.
      What makes good movies bad, is that they are bland and derivative. They are like everything you've already seen, change nothing, and add nothing, and make you feel nothing.

    The magic of "The Room" is that it's so INNOCENTLY bad. Tommy Wiseau was completely sincere in his efforts to make a legitimate dramatic film. All of the other actors are performing to the best of the amateurish abilities. The production was completely honest in its misguided efforts to build and advance drama and tension. It was just so perfectly off in all of its horrible decision making, like the video said, like a non-human trying to understand humans. It's also so fragile for that same reason. As soon as there's an ounce of awareness, of camp, satire or any other intention the whole concept and value of the film instantly evaporates. Then it's just an ordinary bad movie. It's why Tommy Wiseau can't ever make another film and why his later casting of the film as a "dark comedy" fell flat. He's now forever a caricature of his own creation.

    One of the reasons bad movies are enjoyable is that they're great to pick apart and analyze, and you can really learn a lot about good films from watching them. Your typical Hollywood film is so seamless and polished that everything washes over you. You suspend your disbelief and sort of forget that a movie is the sum of a million parts/decisions/actions. But a bad movie jolts you out of that. As soon as you see a boom mike or realize that the actor's shirt has changed from red to green in the middle of the scene, you're reminded that a film is something a lot of people came together to make, and that people made certain (terrible) decisions making it. You start to wonder WHY they made a certain choice. Like, why does Tommy Wiseau have actors throw around a football for no reason in the middle of a movie? You start wondering if a decision was made because of ineptitude, lack of funds, time constraints, because the director was out of his mind because of a cocaine binge (which happened during one movie I worked on), etc. Also, thinking about why a movie fails can make you look critically at ones that are good. What makes a movie good? What makes one enjoyable? What makes dialogue work? What sounds dumb? The badness of movies like the room gives you a different perspective on moviemaking, and in a way, is sort of an education in how to make a good movie.

      @masterman1001 6 년 전 +50

      Ya know, there's something special to entertaining oneself with abysmal pieces of art, so you do have a point. But I couldn't take up a condescending stance towards a film who actually managed to do what a (mainstream) flick's intention should always be: It entertained quite a lotta people.
      Now sure, there's also flicks that are meant to make you think, to educate you, or just simply to show you something unconventional. But even then, they still do entertain us, even if it's just a "side-effect".
      So yes, while The Room was undoubtedly a film with horrible acting, a terrible script, and a lead who has yet to prove to be an actual human, it certainly cannot be considered unsuccessful. (not financially speaking. Although I assume some money has been earned over time, so they might even be in the plus, someday)

    Yes, you are right, the best and ONLY way to see "The Room" the FIRST time..............is...........see it alone. Or with one other person you really like and who won't talk constantly over it. Because you want to HEAR every word of the terrible dialogue. You want to focus on every little weird detail and take it in. Watch it a couple more times.......alone. Get to know it in great detail, so you can anticipate the special moments as they're approaching. THEN go see it in a crowded theater if you want to add that experience. I saw it alone the first time, and was amazed, amused, and wanted to see it again. And again. And again.

But Tommy asked Paramount to distribute this, paid for a premiere, made merchandise, and kept it onscreen. He didn’t just let it die. He marketed it for mainstream.

      The Room is one of the most unique (and misogynist :/) films ever made, whether you consider it "the worst film ever made" or not. It happens to be my personal favourite, up there at least... it's like looking into the brain of what a man of another life and world (Tommy Wiseau) envisions the incredibly broken "American dream" to be, all in this immersive "school play"-esque community you perfectly describe.

      Roshan, have you watched this scene, let alone the entire film?

      All of them women (and characters) in the film are written solely *for*, and of course *from* the perspective of the perfect Tommy Wiseau (or Johnny, as portrayed in the film)
      I was surprised a few searches give one results regarding it, and watching the film should answer it for you unless you're desensitised to negative and stereotypical portrayals of women across the media. Breast cancer is a brief joke in the room. The movie is a joke, and I can admire it for all of its unintended, broken absurdity. "David Lynch couldn't make something that weird on purpose."

    About 10 years ago I made it through almost half of "The Room". Now I no longer fear death.
